IDK why that smiley is in there lol. On my phone so a bit hard to copy & paste/ link.
Have to agree, but they can be confused. As a salesman customers have taken me as Ego when it has not be.
I personally wouldn't see a salesman being egotistical unless he acted like Ben Stiller from Dodgeball saying shit like "Here at Globo Gym, we're better than you and we know it!". I think the key factor between differentiating the two is the element of humbleness. Although, like you said, some of your customers and people in general have formed certain impressions of what they think what ego/confidence is or even see them as the same.
